IN SANPETE.
Notes Newsy and Personal From
the Southern County.

THE SHEEP men rejoice.
SCHOOLS ARE full to OVERLOOKING.
ASIDE FROM this the health of. the
county gives no cause for complaint.
MR.. HARMON CHRISTENSEN has lust
struck a flowing we'll northwestern town
DEPUTY VANBERcooK came into town
on Thursday evening, but passed on to
SaliDa the next day.
ONE DAY not long since at Fairview
"Utah's best crop" received an addition
of FIVE. all boys; and Bishop Tucker re-
marked that sit wasn't good day for
boys either"
UNDER THE direction of Professor A.
c. Smyth, the children of his class, dis
played the beauties of "H. M. 8. Pima
fore" to two fair hoases last Monday
and Tuesday evenings.
PROBABLY NOT less than 5000 #orth
of fruit trees have been received in the
county this season. From present
indications Sanpete will soon take the
lead of the Territory in the raising of
fruit.
DURING THE past summer, the hand of
death has lain heavily upon our neigh
boring settlement, Spring City. First
came the whooping cough. soon after
ward the black measles put in an ap-
pearance, and a recent report names not
less than fifteen down with the typhoid
fever.
CONSIDERABLE SORROW is felt through
out the county at the action of two of
our boys in trying to rob the bank at
Nephi, but it must be presumed that
the deed was not without some extern
uation. It is evident the boys
thought the whole town was the same
stuff their baseball club is made of.
TALK OF booms. the Territory offers
no better investment for capital than a
railroad in this county. 1t is needed to
boom our grain, it is needed to boom
our potatoes, it is needed to boom our
white stone, it is needed to boom our
coal and these and dozen other re-
sources will IN turn boom the railroad.
WITH THE first indication of snow the
hauling of coal from the Deseret mines
over the mountains east of Fairview,
was brought to a close. But hopes of
finding coal on this side of ths east
mountains are still ct their highest.
Excellent prospects are shown in a
canyon east OF Mount Pleasant, and
several promising locations have been
made in the hills south OF this city.
THE sNowsToRM of a week ago was
distributed unfairly throughout the
county, as over a foot fell in the north
ern settlements; while we received only
about six incl e.. From present ap-
pearances. however, the deficiency
promises to be forthcoming. The horses
thai have been forced to draw sleighs
about our streets through the mud for
the past week will now lift up their
heads and rejoice.
NoTwITHsTANDING THE inclement state
of tie weather, the Quarterly Stake
Conference Of last Saturday and Sur
day was an enjoyable occasi on. The
bishops reported their respective wards
in good condition, the addresses were
full of encouragement, and the progress
of the temple for the quarter was quite
satisfactory. Visitors were surprised
and pleased at the performances
OF our local choir, directed by
Professor A. G. Smyth, and no less
satisfaction was expressed at The de-
Iightfui rendition OF the South Ward
Brass Band.

What is the reason that the railroad

crossing, apparently, the engine whisS

enough for me, and l wonder why the
confounded old engine does not content
itself with two short explanatory

be INDUCED in, why not make them all

Why not rearrange the viii site signals,
and make the code so that the outburSts
are all as brief as can be, even if there
must be several in one signal? What

LITERATURE.
The Forum.

mr. Murat Halstead, editor of the
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, has
written an essay, in which he tabulates
the white and colored vote in the
Southern States by congressional dis
Sricts and by States, in support of the
proposition that the Democratic party
in the South has nuIli6ed the war
amendments to the Constitution. He
declares that The great political issue
next year is not merely whether the
democratic party shall retain control
OF the Executive Department of the
Federal Government, but whether the
country shall run the risk of Demo-
cratic control of the Senate and the Su-
preue Court also, by which, he eX-
presses fear the war amendments to
the COns;itu ion may be declared in
valid. The ideal Democratic party"

Brothers; ealt Lake: Dryers Bookstore
This is a charming story of tn Sc
peaceful prophets of Huss and Luther,
the Waldenses, and is told in Mr.. Hale
happiest vein. True, it is written for
the young people, and by them will be
most appreciated, for it is just such an
account as at once enchains the
youthful mind and holds it; yet older
readers will find the book not only
interesting, but highly instructive. Mr..
Hale is Protestant preacher ,Abut he is
a broad-minded one, and can therefore
admit that there were honesty, true
piety and large humanity among the
priests of the Roman church. Not the
least entertaining feature OF the book
is the manifest cleverness of the author
in reproducing the tone of the time
whereof he writes. Mr.. Hale has been
a prolific writer for many years, and
has done some good literary work, but
nothing from his pen lately equals In

Powerful New Cruisers to Be Built for
 the British Navy.
 "The British Admiralty" remarked a British naval officer now on visit to this country the other day, "are do- ing all in their power to bring the navy up to its old position. They have or dered several big vessels to be built and are carefully experimenting the building of those already on hand. A new torpedo boat has just been launched at Davenport dock-yard. She is the Raccoon, one of the Archer class of torpedo cruisers, of which several have already been built. The launch was witnessed by 5000 persons, includ- ing Admiral Augustus Phillimore, na- val Commander-in-chief The Raccoon is to be brought forward for com mission with all dispatch. Her keel was laid down in February, 1886. She is 225 feet long, and has displacement of 1,600 tons. She is built entirely of steel but is 1,O00- horse power in excess of either the Archer, Brisk, Cossack, Mohawk, Tar tar or Porpoise, all vessels of the same class. Her boilers are four in number, and are placed in the ship in pairs. each pair being in a separate water tight compartment so also is each set of engines. the object being to mini mise the loss of propelling power in the event of either or any of the com partments becoming filled with water.
 "The Raccoon is expected to attain high rate of speed, as, with the ordi- nary draught, it is believed she will develop at least 2,500-horse power, while with the forced draught, and the engines working about 150 revolutions a minute the horse power will proba- bly, be not less than f, 800. Her arma- ment will be of very formida- ble character, consisting of six 6-inch breech-loading guns mount ed on Vavasseur central pivot carriages, eight 3-pounder quick firing guns, two Nordenfeldts, and one 7-pounder. There are also five torpedo tubes for firing 12-inoh Whitehead tor pedoes-one placed in the bow of the vessel, one on each side forward and one on each side aft. These tubes are fitted to the vessels side by ball and socket joints, an arrangement which enables the torpedoes to be fired in a direct line with the keel The vessels of this class will, when ready for sea, be amongst the most formidable in the navy, and it is anticipated that they will accomplish speed of twenty knots an hour. The total cost of the Raccoon, when fitted, armed and ready for sea, will be $500, 900, "-M F. AaH aud Express.
